Day 35: 90 Day Writing Challenge

November 21, 2013

I wrote 3,854 words today!  Yes!! Granted, it wasn’t for my novel or my 90 Day Writing Challenge…it was for my ~secret project~ that I can’t tell you about…but it still counts!  And as I said, this is my focus right now, so I’m happy! What’s funny, though, is that I cannot stop thinking about […]

Freaks & Weeping Children: An Anthology for YOU!

November 20, 2013

So my Twitter pal, Michael Woods (@mrmikemyself), is putting together an anthology that he plans to title Freaks & Weeping Children…which is pretty much all the reason you need to submit a story to it.  Of course, if you need more convincing, I’m prepared to offer it up.  For instance: You can have the story […]

Day 33: 90 Day Writing Challenge

November 19, 2013

Look, guys, a productive day! EVERYBODY THROW CONFETTI. But really, it was great. You know, sometimes, I have a really  hard time not getting specific with what I’m doing, because sometimes it’s so awesome and I’m so excited, but spoilers. So I’ll try to summarize as best as I can: – Characters were fleshed out even more (I’m actually scared that if […]

Day 32: 90 Day Writing Challenge

November 18, 2013

So today was a day off–a planned one, that I insisted upon, because last week was long, as was this weekend. I decided I seriously needed a break. That said, I did organize my notes and jot down a couple new ideas and scenes for the book. Little stuff, but also fun. But mostly, I […]

Day 31: 90 Day Writing Challenge

November 17, 2013

Today was MY day! (11/17–it’s a long story but that’s my favourite number.) I did a little bit of work for the story, but not much. Decided on a couple details. Oh, and we made decisions about their wardrobes, which excites me a lot more than I thought it would! I guess it’s just that, […]

Day 28: 90 Day Writing Challenge

November 14, 2013

This post is less about the book and more about me. (Although I will say, I didn’t actually do much for the book today.  And you know what? I’m OK with that.) So today was not unique in many ways: I was busy, I was tired, I didn’t accomplish as much as I’d hoped to. But […]

Day 27: 90 Day Writing Challenge

November 13, 2013

Goodness, are we really almost a month into this now? Man, the time flies… Today, I did very little for the story.  Some research, some chatting with the co-author/mum (co-muthor? mum-author?), but that’s about it. Does reading about the Higgs boson particle count?  I bought a book about it.  I have an entirely different blog […]

Day 26: 90 Day Writing Challenge

November 12, 2013

Today: Character motives.  Character desires. Also, denying those desires. Because CONFLICT.  And PLOT.  And also REASONS. Today’s writing made me feel really bad for my kids (i.e. the characters…who are teenagers).  They’re going to go through all kinds of bad stuff. But you know, they’re going to come out of it alright.  Mostly.  Well, some […]

Day 25: 90 Day Writing Challenge

November 11, 2013

I am almost caught up with where I should be, and that is awesome.  I get hot cocoa for that.  Good Evey.  Good. Today I worked on minor characters, some of which aren’t as minor as I’d originally thought.  A lot of my background/history has changed since my original writing of this story, so there was […]

Day 24: 90 Day Writing Challenge

November 10, 2013

Today, I did a an exercise where I describe my main characters’ homes, which was surprisingly fun and informative.  It’s kind of funny–my 90 Day Novel book is mostly about books in a contemporary setting (she doesn’t state that, but her exercises make it pretty clear), so I have to adjust a lot of the exercises […]
